[For tb« National.) The Philnanphy af ifappiaeaa Did 70a ev»r travel a long, monotonous road, btside wbicb there were no object* to relieve the eye, or inspire the mind—no for est*. no rounded hill*, no quiet dale*. »‘o mountains, leaping brooks or roaring creeks —nothing all the while spread out bernre the tired vision, save a dull and barren plain ns far as the eye could reach ? The jocund music of the happy bird Tails not upon your ear. while the silence of soli tmle, desolation and death, reign supreme. — The inanimate and gloomy picture reflect* its dark sba dee upon tbe quick tablets of your own soul, and overwhelms it with de pression and despair. Wc sprang from the dust; we are the creatures of tbe world; and our happiness bangs from the ten thousand circumstances, and combination of circum stances. that go to make it up. as the blush ing fruit from the tender stem. We are the children of the land in wbicb wc dwell, and look to it for our happiness and support, as an infant to tbe smiles and carcases of a lov ing mother. Our enjoyment is never separ ated from tbe objects that surround us in the material world. The landscape outstreeb log. tbe sky above, the sun. the moon, and stars, the heavens mottled with a thousand glorious hues, (bat gorgeously brighten the trncts of illimitable space, tbe air, the chan ging seasons—fresh and joyous spring, hope ful summer, fruitful autumn, ard tbe daath of winter—all make their strong impres sions upon tbe human mind, and bare much to do ib measuring tbe sum of human hsppi pitics*. Again at some period of your life have Job not traveled a delightful road? I'oca not some morning by tbe transcendental beauties it unfolded to your view remain stamped on She deligblA page of memory, w ith all the charming truthfulness of reality? It was mid spring. The warm moist earth seemed to pour out vigor, and beauty, and life, into the vegetable world around you, while bath ed ill a flood of light that poured down from the morning sun. each modest flower, each blushing rose, each leaf, each gorgeous bloom attracted light and hue. and fragrance, from heaven, to attach to this lower world, and for a time, to bless man with all the charms and transports of the ethereal world. At every step new ol»i*-cU break upon your view, and new charms inspire your soul. It is one continued scene or variety, life, beauty and glory. The nimble squirrel skips along the foot of an eld elm, another chatters a* ntong its soft luxurious folittge, wtiite down its trunk sir* ants the honeysuckle loaded with flowers mid fragrance. The stately oak, the noble walnut, tbe smooth maple, w ith its leaves whispering ttic gentle accents of th ‘ spirit laud, lbe litid and Ibe proud old hickory, meet our view in succession, and ibe 'hick clustering undergrowth intersper sed among them, give perfection to the scene, enlivened by tbe varied songs of numerous birds. The gieen slope* meet in the babbling brocks, and the vertlanl bills shout with joy. Evert step unfolds new delight*, every sen sation is pleasure, every thought is inspired, and every emotion ot'rs our hearts w ith lien venly rapture. Thu«. at such a time, and tinder such circumstances, inti.tie.) with al' the sentiment* of a cherub, freeol -ill intper fictions, and endowed with a hoiv rapturous love for all that is divine, exalted, resplen dent, infinite, pure, ethereal, and beatific. tn«n becomes nn angel, temporarily, nnd sin less as before the fall. Thus it is with the journey through lift. — There is evety grade of happiness, from the man who is low, debased, and groveling, in to whose insensate heart, scarce ever shiues a single ray of pleasure, to the noble, sensi tive, comprehensive mortal, Into whose ca pacious. aspiring, and uplifted soul is reflec ted tbe joys of angel*, and the apprehensina and sublime rationality of God himself. Happiness is not a negative, a dull nnd nameless state. It i* one essentially of ac tivity, and implies an exalted impression of pleasure upon the faculties of the soul.— Pleasure alone is an inferior state, and is enjoyed in some degreoby the lowest of the Human species. The happiness of life, is in pfoportioo to the exaltation of delightful impressions, and tbeir duration. We are happy in proportion as our knowledge is extended, as «re delight in and subject onr minds to noble thoughts and exalted impressions; and our sonls are dark, miserable, and wretched, as tbev are benighted by ignorance, shut out from the bright lights of truth and knowledge, and moved by low and degraded emotions. The mind is to happiness what tbe eyes are to the objects of tbe physical world. The blind cannot see. neither can tbe stolid, debased, uncultured man perceive those oolite and glorious things; through the spiritual sense, that fill the soul with rapture. Happiness consists in the love of tbe refin ed, tbe good, tbe exalted, tbe sublime, and beautiful. It is in tbe power of every man to expand, and widen the area of his happi ness by cultivating a knowledge of, sot) a love for tbe virtuous. tbc spiritual. and tbc refined. Shut out that from your aoul which ia ignoble and degrading, and let tin mind dwell only upon that which ia pure ancon laminated. and bcrutiful. and your pathway through life will l»e slrown with tlowera of joy. The whole earth below, and heavens above, are all full of beauty, sublimity and glory. Let us appreciate the world around us* as intellectual and immortal beings, and our aoul*, resplendent with tbe glories of God himself, will emit in bliss, ecstatic and un ceasing. Uev. Theo. Clapp, having attended a fash ionable party in if. Orleans makes the fol lodirtft natural and beautiful reflections:— “1 spent an hour or more in this cheerful circle, where al! things to the eye and ear were refined, orderly, and decorous. The hesrls of that company were visible o-ily to the Omniscient One. I shall refer to the iin pretsions made on my mjpil by their ex ter. nnl nppearanee. llefore me stood the young and happy, upon w hose fates and fortunes the sombre shadows ol adversity hud not yet gatls rcd; their mimla wire bright and buoy ant,their steps elustic their iare opeutd to the melody of sound, their eyes radiant " ilh pleasure. As 1 was meditating upon those comely brows, flushed with the bloom or ear ly life; the fair forms of fvminiue grace and loveliness; the dignified, uccutn piisbed man nets uf those more ndvanced in years ; the music j sprightly conversation, wit, love, gaycty anil joyousness which characterised the whole scene,—a sweet, profound, unwon ted perception of God's goodness captivated my soul. Such intense feelings of piety I had never before experienced, I said to myself “It Inr* pleaded God ‘to make mau a little lower titan the angels, and to crown li.m with glory and honor.' Ilh ia so beautiful here, what v II be not become In that future stale,where our loftiest ideals and to-tual at. tainm-ots both will regularly advance inn progression that ia infinite !” I was wrapt in delightful visions of a spiritual world.— This thought look complete possesion of my mind. God is too good not to prov ide for us something nobler, better, greater, more permanent, and more satisfying than the transitory possessions and pleasures of time. Csn lie pee,sent to us tbc 'chalice of existence, and then tlnsh it from our lips just as we be gin fo taste its joys ? Is not his infinite love a pledge that be will never treat us so cru elly? Would a kind parent promise his chil dren favors which he never iuteded to bestow on them ? Can God awaken irrepressible dr-tres of continued, unending happiness, only to lie crushed out and disappointed for evu ? Nothing in mathematics is more cer taiu than tbe doctrine thut the inherent, cs si-ufial desires of our moral nature will be compb-tely grstilied. Can they lie, if death is an eternal sleep Portrait or Libit. Maikt, -Lieut.

Dctxwa dFTiTK SrKivlsiiii' Eastkrn Cut. —The merchant ship Eastern City was burn ed in August last, on her way from Liver pool to Melbourne. Tbc description of the accident is Host thrilling, and the suspense which the passengers, COO in nnrnber, suffer ed, truly overwhelming. She was on tire several days, the flames being smothered in the hulk, by the exclusion of air. At tbe Inst moment, just before the flames burst out of the ill-fated vessel, a sail appeared on the distant horizuu.aml nearing them at last, res cued hundreds of human beings from a fear ful death.

About H the children would clinili the ladder to their bunks, close under the shake roof and in an hour more father and mother would retire behind the blankets leaving the "sparkers" sitting at opposite corners of a capacious stick chirn ncy fireplace. Soon the fire wonid n»e<l a little fixing with the wooden shovel or pok er. and in resumiug seats, somehow chairs would manifest unusual attraction for clos er contiguity.

He won the lass, longed to marry her, but as the course of true love never did run smooth, her mother objected. He however kept on courting un til! he got to love everything oil the bid man’s farm. At last love and perseverance were rewarded, and the wedding day was fixed. The new country was sickly anil he often found himself feeling his pulse as the day of days grew near, in a tremor lest the shakes should be added to the fever which was consuming him.

The news reached the town meeting before him and nobody now objected to his voting. New Mods: nr Satmo Gout.—The Cals' veras Chronicle states that nearly all the quarts. mills at Angels and Altavillc have adopted a new mode of caving the gold, or rather have gone hark to first principles.— They have tin own away all the shaking ta llies. blankets, Ac., and adopted the Chilean bowl or “ Itatea ” which is made of cast iron, about four feet in diameter, with a con cave of six inches in the centre from the lev. el of the sides. A rim three inches in height extends around the basin, only ienving suffi cient apace to discharge the water and crush ed rock. This bowl is hung by throe irou rods, attached to the rim. and coming to the centre at tbc top. On the under side of the bowl is n pivot to which is attached a crank giving the bowl a rolling motion of three inches from the centre, keeping everything perfectly loos? and tentlir* to settle all hea vy particles to the bottom and centre, and amalgamate the gold with the quicksilver.— These bow ls, when iu rapid motion, have nl most the same movement as the old fashion ed Chilean bowl when worki d by hand. —- The invention is by a gentleman of the Chrystal mill.
